Every year, thousands of aspiring dancers enter one of the world’s most prestigious ballet competitions, where lifelong dreams are at stake. The usual ambivalence a moviegoer might feel toward children whose skilled innocence is exploited on all fronts is thrown off balance by the determination of the kids themselves. They know they are denying themselves their own childhoods, but when they dance, you understand why.
This award-winning documentary follows six young dancers as they prepare for a chance to enter the world of professional ballet, struggling through exhaustion and debilitating injuries, all the while navigating the drama of adolescence. A showcase of awe-inspiring talent, tenacity and passion, First Position paints a thrilling and moving portrait of the most gifted young ballet stars of tomorrow. US 2011; 94 minutes; Not Rated.
